Thanks...

A lower priced AMD 64 will do just fine for just about every game in mame.

As for the video card, what are you using as a monitor.  I am pretty sure ATI is recommended because it displays better on a tv.  You won't need any sort of 3D processing unless its for another emulator or PC games.

i have never bought a name brand pc, i always build my own. i pieced together a system from older parts i had lying around and  mounted then in my cabinet, not in a pc case.  currently it is an athlon xp 2500, with 512mb of ram, and a geforce 4 mx4000.

I have my one main household server that is a Dell Poweredge bought off their clearance site... every other PC in the house is from the town recycling depot, taken for free, fixed if necessary.

I use chopped up laptops..they are less bulky and easier to mount. Plus quieter
